About

Storyteller & Maker

Hi! I’m Ailin Li , a moonlighting writer of novels, short fiction, video game narrative, and creative nonfiction. You can find samples of my works by clicking on Read My Writing and support my writing projects by clicking on Shop. By day, I am a public policy and government relations professional. (If you are too, feel free to connect with me via LinkedIn!)

As a lifelong learner, I hold a Master of Information and Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto (St. George). I have also obtained a Professional Certificate in Video Game Writing through the University of British Columbia.

I am a lover of words, fluent in English and Mandarin (Chinese). Currently, I am learning French (intermediate), Japanese (beginner), and Korean (beginner). My dream is to speak more languages than I can count on one hand.

Other hobbies of mine include playing video games (of course) and being a Dungeon Master for D&D. I am also an avid reader and sometimes clay sculptor. You can find my book reviews on Goodreads and The Storygraph. Pouty Bear Crafts, my small art business, can be found on Instagram.
